The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko has announced dates when investigations against Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials who bungled the August 8 polls will start.
In a response to concerns made by the lobby group Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu and the National Super Alliance (NASA), the DPP said that the probe is set to start once the Supreme Court furnishes his office with a detailed judgement in the presidential petition case.
“In order for me to give clear, precise and specific directives to the Inspector General of Police or any such other criminal investigative agencies as may be appropriate, and so as to facilitate a holistic and comprehensive investigation I am of the considered view that it would be proper to await delivery of the detailed and reasoned judgment of the Supreme Court,” explained Tobiko.
According to the DPP, the comprehensive ruling will show details of all irregularities and illegalities that were found to have been committed by officials from the electoral body.
